I've added back William Firmatus and Mary Euphrasia Pelletier, they have articles and are saints for this day.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 11:48, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

St Bova is also known as St Beuve and has a Wiki article --2607:FEA8:D5DF:1AF0:AD20:B600:FF9E:4E34 (talk) 11:43, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

St Doda is Doda of Reims --2607:FEA8:D5DF:1AF0:AD20:B600:FF9E:4E34 (talk) 11:46, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Page protection

Due to a rather high incidents of anonymous IPs vandalising the article, plus the stated intent by one user to add a nonsense holiday to the mix, I feel justified in locking down this page for the time being. If another admin disagrees with this action, feel free to undo the protection. 23skidoo (talk) 18:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Armenian Genocide

I see that the information about the Armenian Genocide was wiped out of this page recently. Consequently, I made the necessary adjustments, but I hope that this does not happen again. --Davo88 (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

St Mark's Eve

Unless there is a discussion, I will remove St Mark's Eve. It is not current, and was not a Christian celebration but cultural.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 11:48, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

A year later, with no other commenters, I removed St Mark's Eve. Someone has reverted my deletion. Please discuss here why it should be retained. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:29, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

ok then I'll remove it.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:42, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

"World day for laboratory animals"

Would anyone else like to check and see if this meets the criteria for mention? Seems to me it is a private initiative.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 11:59, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

seems to me no. It is not official. delenda est --2607:FEA8:D5DF:1AF0:AD20:B600:FF9E:4E34 (talk) 11:41, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Kapyong Day

Nothing in the linked article indicates that this is a commemoration or holiday. Certainly it isn't in Canada. Suggest it be moved to events. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 12:12, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Josh Fight

Should I add the 2021 Josh fight? NutronStar45 -- T / C 04:44, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Mimi Smith

Why is she notable? She is famous only for being John Lennon's aunt. Claretandblue1874 (talk) 16:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Exactly what do you want to add to this article about Dream SMP? Also, none of the sources you've provided appear to be reliable. Kiwipete (talk) 00:07, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
